Each year, the Computer Security Institute (CSI) in partnership with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) puts together a Computer Crime and Security Survey. This survey analyzes common cybercrime trends and also helps promote awareness of cybercrime activities.

To assist you with this assignment you will need to locate a CSI Computer Crime and Security Survey. A paid membership is required to access the most recent versions of this survey. However, you can access previous surveys free of charge by visiting the archive here:
